Autopsy 2023 Rd 19 5 wins in a row over 50 but injuries hit hard

[Blue and Blue]

I haven't read all the posts, but surprised not to read more positive comments on George Hewett.
I think 31 possessions with pretty high effectiveness. Getting back to some of his old great form.
Will help cover for some of the injuries.
Was also happy to see Dow put in a reasonable game.
Walsh is our main concern not playing this week and SOS to a lesser extent.
But if we get Crippa, cerra & martin playing we, should be a reasonable chance, on our current form.
A win against the PIES, will be the best thing for the players and the us loyal fans for 2023.
Go Blues.

Think Hewett just does it with no flashy stuff. Rock solid dependable and quicker than he looks.

Any one got news on Cerra? A few people saying there's doubt.

George is back to his best … no doubt … Walsh and Jsos out cannot be covered however … only way we win this is if they’re 5% to 10% off and we play out of our skins …

George got 7 votes in the age voting. Charlie 9, George and Doc and Sam Walsh 7. Unbelievably witherden got 6.

Fair commentary on George and the impact that Sam had in limited game time though.

Love Hewitt, but it would be good if he could go forward a bit more through the stoppage. He tends to look for/go backwards first reaction

 

[Blue and Blue]

Just finished the replay.
A few observations on things that don't really show up watching live when we ride the drama of it.

1. West coast in the first half clearly making sure not to compromise the number one pick.
2. Even if they had tried their best we smashed them in a half regardless.
3. Second half we clearly and deliberately played with much less intensity and gave them space to practise their drills.

Playing to his strengths, team ethos, each and every player should be doing the same

We did what was needed in the 2nd half, backed off due to the number of early injuries and conserved energy

So that’s his role when he plays in the middle? If he wins the ball to bring it out the back side of stoppage?

It's everyone's role, play to your ability and use your teammate in better positions.

Been freshening to see, for instance, someone like Walsh handball to a teammate on the move rather than burn them and kick long.

That's been the change in our winning streak. Give it to players in better positions and play within your ability

Checking in on afl.com.au over the next hour see if Ollie (Hollands) gets the Rising Star Nomination this week (I am prepared to be disappointed)

Hit the best target to transition the ball forward

Couldn't care less about metres gained

It’s good to see him starting to find that earlier season form of last year

It's good players have responded to being dropped. SOS and Hewitt

That's something I love about Dow, he gets it and goes forward

It's the way he combs his hair...........

The synergy of haircuts and dress apparel can not be underestimated within a gang of 22. In my opinion.️
